Here are some exercises that have been proven to be effective in losing belly fat:
1. Aerobic Exercise: Aerobic exercise is great for overall fat loss. Set aside about 150 minutes per week for moderate intensity aerobic exercise, be it brisk walking to power walking, exciting jogging, cycling, or even swimming.
2. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT training is our clients’ first choice for boosting metabolism. It involves bursts of intense activity followed by short rest periods. Just 15-20 minutes of exercises like burpees, jumping jacks and sprint intervals will get your heart pumping and effectively burn fat.
3. Planks: Planks have proven crucial in strengthening your core. Start with short holds of around 20-30 seconds and gradually increase the time as your abs get stronger. It’s tough, but the results are worth it when it comes to working your abs.
4. Crunches: The classic crunch is proven for good reason. Lie down, gently support your head in your hands, and raise your torso while focusing on contracting your core muscles. Do 15-20 repetitions in 2-3 sets to work your abs.
5. Leg Raises: There is nothing better than leg raises to work your lower abs. Lie down, place your hands under your hips for support, lift your legs straight up, then slowly lower them without touching the floor.
Doing these exercises regularly will help you lose belly fat to a great extent.
